  • Eat It: Florida Amelia Island's Dining Month: September

    Eat It: Florida Amelia Island's Dining Month: September
    2026/08/21
    Everyone assumes a food promotion like this means fixed-price, three-course fine dining. Turns out Amelia Island’s Dining Month is nothing like that, and Jesse gets the full breakdown from Madison Jozsa, Director of PR and Social for the Amelia Island CVB. Now in its third year with 23 participating restaurants, the format gives each spot the freedom to do whatever showcases them best, which means the lineup ranges from flip-flop-casual beach bites to five-star tasting menus. Madison also gets into why fall might actually be the smartest time to visit Amelia Island, the charitable angle built into every menu, and what’s […]

  • Talkin' Shop (food) with a Savannah Local

    Talkin' Shop (food) with a Savannah Local
    2026/08/21
    This week Jesse’s joined by Brian Baraniak, owner of B&P Painting and one of this year’s Burger Bash sponsors — but painting takes a back seat once the conversation turns to food. Turns out Brian and his wife are serious Savannah foodies, with a running list of favorite spots fifty deep. He shares his pick for the ultimate big-city date night that’ll make you forget you’re even in Savannah, the casual neighborhood spot with sandwiches that never miss, and an underrated downtown gem Jesse’s convinced more locals need to know about. There’s even a stop worth the drive out to Richmond […]

  • Eating and Liking on Netflix

    Eating and Liking on Netflix
    2026/08/05
    A few years back, Jesse got a random email that turned into an on-camera stint hosting wine expert Jermaine Stone around Savannah for “Street Somm,” a Tastemade series pairing street food with wine across six cities. Fast forward to now: the show just landed on Netflix, and Jesse’s getting texts from friends, family, and fellow Savannah food folks who spotted the episode. He walks through how the gig came together, the day spent filming in Chippewa Square with Chazito’s food truck, and what it’s like seeing a years-old shoot suddenly find a massive new audience.

  • The Eat It and Like It Burger Bash 2026: What is It?

    The Eat It and Like It Burger Bash 2026: What is It?
    2026/08/03
    Burger Bash is back for year two, and Jesse’s breaking down what it actually is (hint: not a contest, no voting, no prizes — just great burgers). This year’s lineup spans 32 restaurants from Savannah to Hilton Head to Bluffton to Beaufort, running August 22–September 3, with most burgers priced at $20 or less. Jesse digs into why he started it, how last year’s response nearly buried him in 35 burgers, and makes the case for why you should skip your go-to favorite and try something new this time around.

  • Shawn Hill is The Reluctant Foodie

    Shawn Hill is The Reluctant Foodie
    2026/06/22
    Jesse is joined by Shawn Hill — aka The Reluctant Foodie SC — a Beaufort-based videographer, marketing pro, and accidental food content creator who’s been quietly building a loyal following across the Lowcountry. Shawn shares how his channel got its name (thanks, Eugene Levy), what it’s like to go viral with only a few thousand followers, and why he’ll never call himself a food critic. We swap burger opinions, debate smash burgers vs. grilled, and Jesse makes a strong case for the best Cuban sandwich north of the Broad River. If you’re not following The Reluctant Foodie SC yet, you will […]
